Funbari no Uta is a series of short stories written by Hiroyuki Takei relating to his manga series Shaman King; and a furyoku-inducing battle anthem-turned-jingle-turned-Japanese ballad created by the Shaman King character, Faust VIII.Funbari no Uta is set seven years later (2007) after the Shaman Tournament, and revolves around Hana Asakura, the son of Yoh and Anna.

It was 3002, and the human civilization had crumbled and rebuilt itself again and again over the thousand years, despite the destruction and challenge brought by the harsh nature. In this era of constant war against nature and havoc, construction teams were the star of economy system, the conquering force as well as a weapon themselves, because heavy robots were used in construction works to speed up efficiency. Jumbor was the leader of a famous construction team of a little country with a cute princess. One day, as their group was about to start a reconstruction work of a tunnel which was destroyed by an earthquake, a much more powerful construction team arrived and claimed the land in no time, killing Jumbor who tried to protect his teammates against the cruel opponents... Jumbor woke up in 3007, finding himself revived in his own clone body (memory transplanted) which has a physical age of 5 years old, and in addition to that, his body was partly mechanized. His robot arms are linked up to and directly controlled by his brain\'s signals. He was told that the country had gone and the princess and the king disappeared, and he discovered that his mechanized body is very powerful. He was also told he was last of the series

Yoh Asakura is a shaman--one of the gifted few who, thanks to training or natural talent, can channel spirits that most people can't even see. With the help of his fiancée, Anna, Yoh is in training for the ultimate shaman sports event: the "Shaman Fight in Tokyo," the once-every-500-years tournament to see who can shape humanity's future and become the Shaman King. But unfortunately for Yoh, every shaman in the world is competing for the same prize…

Shaman King Kang Zeng Bang is a reprint of the original Shaman King series but with differences including the addition of new chapters (which changes the chapter numbering)

Shaman King Kanzenban est une réédition en version de luxe de la série d'origine. Cette nouvelle version contient également un certain nombre de passages inédits ainsi que la vraie fin du manga, la version d'origine ayant été arrêtée prématurément.L'histoire de départ, en revanche, est la même : Yoh Asakura est l'héritier d'une grande famille de shaman, et se prépare pour un tournoi qui n'a lieu que tous les 500 ans et qui désignera le futur Shaman King, leur roi.

Cette série comporte de petites histoires sur le passé des personnages principaux. La première se déroule à Izumo, en 1995. Le jeune Yoh a énormément de difficultés à s'intégrer à l'école. En effet, étant différent, il subit les brimades de ses petits camarades. De plus, l'entrainement intensif que lui donne son grand-père ne lui plaît pas. Son seul réconfort est une jeune fille fantôme qu'il retrouve à la gare. Les autres histoires sont celles de Ren, et de son entrainement intensif ; de Horohoro ; de Lyserg et de Hao, ainsi que du recrutement de ses équipiers.

L'histoire se base sur un one-shot publié peu après la fin de Shaman King. Ce dernier ne fut cependant jamais publié en volume simple (mais on le retrouve dans le fanbook "Mentalite"). Attention il est conseillé de lire avant Shaman King !!!L'histoire se passe 10 ans après la fin de l'édition Kang Zeng Bang. Le personnage principal, Hana, est le fils de Yoh et Anna. Il vit avec Ryû et Tamao dans le onsen de ses parents, et rêve de pouvoir surpasser son père un jour. En effet, bien que Yoh lui ait légué Amidamaru et le Futsu no Mitama, Hana se sent encore très en dessous du niveau de son père, et cela l'agace. De plus, une nouvelle menace se profile à l'horizon : les héritiers de Hao, une branche cachée de la famille Asakura, décident de revenir sur le devant de la scène, et de reprendre leur place au sein de la famille. Note : Bien que pré-publié dans le Jump Kai (magazine seinen), Shaman King Flowers est classé parmi les shônen.

A new collection of short mangas (3-7 pages) printed in the back of the Shaman King Remix Editions (Reprint editions). Each story takes a closer look at a side-story not in the original (or KZB) edition of the Shaman King. Because of their humorous nature, the "plot" of these shorts should not be taken seriously in the series' proper storyline.
